Chapter 103
"Is everything alright?" Howard's head pokes around the doorframe.
"We hear shouting." Bollo's head appears next to it.
"Everything's fine."
"Oh. Okay then."
"Vince sure? We hear lot of shouting."
"Yes, I'm sure. Everything's fine, Bollo. Noelle lost her temper, that's all."
"I did not lose my temper!"
"You slapped Naboo! I could hear it from your room!" Howard raises an eyebrow.
"Naboo alright?" Bollo asks, concerned.
"I'm fine. Stop worrying."
"Hypocrite."
"I am not!" He turns to the others. "I'm not!"
"You are, Naboo." Howard says. Naboo turns to Bollo.
"Vince and Harold right." The ape says with a shrug.
"It's Howard, actually."
"Shut up, Harold."
"Howard." He mutters. Bollo ignores him.
"You should go back to bed."
"Bed's boring."
"You're hurt. You need time to recover."
"I'm not hurt. I'm fine."
"You're not fine. Go back to bed."
"But Naboo…" I whine.
"But nothing. Go to bed." I turn and walk dejectedly out of the room.
I'm about halfway down the hall when I start to feel dizzy. The hallway spins, making my head hurt. I try to keep walking, but my legs feel like jelly. Everything seems to go into slow motion, apart from the hallway, which spins faster and faster.
Suddenly, everything goes black.
